'But you and all the kind of Christ
Are ignorant and brave,
And you have wars you hardly win
And souls you hardly save.'

The allegorical practical joker

The novel 'Manalive' consists of two parts: in the first part we encounter Innocent Smith through his actions. He is almost arrested on multiple, and serious, charges. Instead of delivering him to the police, the lodgers of Beacon Hill decide themselves to judge him: is he mad or sane?
The second part promises to give some explanations; I am very curious.
